Acids and Bases
Chapter 15
2
Properties of Acids• Sour taste• Change color of vegetable dyes• React with “active” metals
– Like Al, Zn, Fe, but not Cu, Ag or Au
Zn + 2 HCl ZnCl2 + H2
– Corrosive
• React with carbonates, producing CO2
– Marble, baking soda, chalk
CaCO3 + 2 HCl CaCl2 + CO2 + H2O
• React with bases to form ionic salts – And often water
3
Properties of Bases
• Also Known As Alkalis• Taste bitter• Feel slippery• Change color of vegetable dyes
– Different color than acid
– Litmus = blue
• React with acids to form ionic salts– And often water
– Neutralization
4
Arrhenius Theory• Acids ionize in water to H+1 ions and anions• Bases ionize in water to OH-1 ions and cations• Neutralization reaction involves H+1 combining
with OH-1 to make water• H+ ions are protons• Definition only good in water solution• Definition does not explain why ammonia
solutions turn litmus blue– Basic without OH- ions
5
Brønsted-Lowery Theory• H+1 transfer reaction
– Since H+1 is a proton, also known as proton transfer reactions• Acid is H+ donor; Base is H+ acceptor
– Base must contain an unshared pair of electrons• In the reaction, a proton from the acid molecule is
transferred to the base molecule– H forms a bond to lone pair electrons on the base molecule– We consider only 1 H transferred in each reaction
• Products are called the Conjugate Acid and Conjugate Base– After reaction, the original acid is the conjugate base and the
original base is changed to what is now called the conjugate acid
6
Brønsted-Lowery TheoryH-A + :B A-1 + H-B+1
A-1 is the conjugate base, H-B+1 is the conjugate acid• Conjugate Acid-Base Pair is either the original
acid and its conjugate base or the original base and its conjugate acid– H-A and A-1 are a conjugate acid-base pair– :B and H-B+1 are a conjugate acid-base pair
• The conjugate base is always more negative than the original acid; and the conjugate acid is always more positive than the original base
7
Example #1
• Determine what species you will get if you remove 1 H+1 from the acid
– The Conjugate Base will have one more negative charge than the original acid
H3PO4 H+1 + H2PO4-1
Write the conjugate base for the acid H3PO4
8
Brønsted-Lowery Theory
• In this theory, instead of the acid, HA, dissociating into H+1(aq) and A-1(aq); The acid donates its H to a water molecule
HA + H2O A-1 + H3O+1
A-1 is the conjugate base, H3O+1 is the conjugate acid• H3O+1 is called hydronium ion• In this theory, substances that do not have OH-1 ions
can act as a base if they can accept a H+1 from water
H2O + :B OH-1 + H-B+1
9
Strength of Acids & Bases• The stronger the acid, the more willing it is to donate H• Strong acids donate practically all their H’s
HCl + H2O H3O+1 + Cl-1
• Strong bases will react completely with water to form hydroxidesCO3
-2 + H2O HCO3-1 + OH-1
• Weak acids donate a small fraction of their H’s– The process is reversible, the conjugate acid and conjugate base can react
to form the original acid and base
HC2H3O2 + H2O H3O+1 + C2H3O2-1
• Only small fraction of weak base molecules pull H off waterHCO3
-1 + H2O H2CO3 + OH-1

Multiprotic Acids
• Monoprotic acids have 1 acid H, diprotic 2, etc.– In oxyacids only the H on the O is
acidic• In strong multiprotic acids, like
H2SO4, only the first H is strong; transferring the second H is usually weak
H2SO4 + H2O H3O+1 + HSO4-1
HSO4-1 + H2O H3O+1 + SO4

13
Water as an Acid and a Base
• Amphoteric substances can act as either an acid or a base
– Water as an acid, NH3 + H2O NH4+1 + OH-1
– Water as a base, HCl + H2O H3O+1 + Cl-1
• Water can even react with itself
H2O + H2O H3O +1 + OH-1
14
Autoionization of Water• Water is an extremely weak electrolyte
– therefore there must be a few ions present
H2O + H2O H3O+1 + OH-1
• all water solutions contain both H3O+1 and OH-1
– the concentration of H3O+1 and OH-1 are equal
– [H3O+1] = [OH-1] = 10-7M @ 25°C
• Kw = [H3O+1] x [OH-1] = 1 x 10-14 @ 25°C
– Kw is called the ion product constant for water
– as [H3O+1] increases, [OH-] decreases
15
Acidic and Basic Solutions
• acidic solutions have a larger [H+1] than [OH-1]
• basic solutions have a larger [OH-1] than [H+1]
• neutral solutions have [H+1]=[OH-1]= 1 x 10-7 M
[H+1] = 1 x 10-14
[OH-1][OH-1] = 1 x 10-14

pH & pOH• The acidity/basicity of a solution is often expressed as pH or
pOH• pH = -log[H3O+1] pOH = -log[OH-1]
– pHwater = -log[10-7] = 7 = pOHwater
• [H+1] = 10-pH [OH-1] = 10-pOH
• pH < 7 is acidic; pH > 7 is basic, pH = 7 is neutral• The lower the pH, the more acidic the solution; The higher the pH,
the more basic the solution• 1 pH unit corresponds to a factor of 10 difference in acidity • pOH = 14 - pH

Enter the [H+1] concentration into your calculator and press the log key
log(1.0 x 10-8) = -8.0
Change the sign to get the pHpH = -(-8.0) = 8.0

If you want to calculate [OH-1] use pOH, if you want [H+1] use pH. It may be necessary to convert one to the other using 14 = pH + pOH
pOH = 14.00 – 7.41 = 6.59Enter the pH or pOH concentration into your
calculatorChange the sign of the pH or pOH
-pOH = -(6.59)Press the button(s) on you calculator to take the
inverse log or 10x
[OH-1] = 10-6.59 = 2.6 x 10-7
Example #5Calculate the [OH-1] of a solution with a pH of 7.41
26
Calculating the pH of a Strong, Monoprotic Acid
• A strong acid will dissociate 100%
HA H+1 + A-1
• Therefore the molarity of H+1 ions will be the same as the molarity of the acid
• Once the H+1 molarity is determined, the pH can be determined
pH = -log[H+1]
27
Example #6

0.10 M HNO3 = 0.10 M H+1

log(0.10) = -1.00Change the sign to get the pH
pH = -(-1.00) = 1.00
Calculate the pH of a 0.10 M HNO3 solution

Buffered Solutions• Buffered Solutions resist change in pH when an acid
or base is added to it.• Used when need to maintain a certain pH in the
system– Blood
• A buffer solution contains a weak acid and its conjugate base
• Buffers work by reacting with added H+1 or OH-1 ions so they do not accumulate and change the pH
• Buffers will only work as long as there is sufficient weak acid and conjugate base molecules present
